Sorting

This template looks extremely messy. I feel it should be split into series or something. Red (talk) 13:57, 27 May 2014 (EDT)

Bump. I second the above. There aren't too many words to describe this order (if you can call it that) other than abysmal. ScoreCounter 16:24, 17 January 2015 (EST)

It's a very simple alphabetical-by-character-name listing and it's about as streamlined as it can get without making the template massive. Miles (talk) 16:40, 17 January 2015 (EST)

A) Ah, now I see that. Still, that's a tad hard to notice, in a way. B)Point taken. Thanks. I'll think about that one... there's surely some way of doing it that is a bit softer on the eyes... ScoreCounter 16:48, 17 January 2015 (EST)

The previous layout used character names instead of head icons and was an oversized mess; I implemented the heads as a space-saving measure. If you have a different suggestion, I'm interested to hear it, but I'm having a hard time seeing what else would be practical. Miles (talk) 16:52, 17 January 2015 (EST)

could we try sorting it by game? Idk how much that would help but we could have "Introduced in Brawl" and "Introduced in SSB4" (that way we don't have Mario Finale appearing in both lists). I think having multiple lists, while it would make the template rather large, will make it easier to read. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by you. Or maybe Nutta. 18:05, 17 January 2015 (EST)

That'd result in either a) duplicating a large chunk of the list for those whose Final Smashes didn't change, making the template quite unnecessarily large, or b) separating instances where the Final Smash did change in a rather unwieldy fashion. I'd think people would want links to Pit's two Final Smashes next to each other, for instance, not in completely separate sub-lists. Miles (talk) 18:09, 17 January 2015 (EST)
